Hello Rainmakers,

Our Secret Investor is back with a few insights into what everyone’s talking about in the holiday hot spots and where the focus of investors and portfolio managers is likely to be when summer is done.

Rainmakers is a reader-supported publication. Subscribers get two unique pieces a week and full access to our back catalogue of investigations, scoops, and insights, including updates from columnist The Secret Investor and interviews with entrepreneurs. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a subscriber.

In the traditional Summer downturn, it certainly feels like the Northern corporate finance exodus to the Algarve has seen a big switch off.

But it seems that the public markets didn’t get the memo, with more Boohoo / Frasers drama on the horizon, as well as the ongoing Assura takeover tussle. Nice to see someone putting a shift in even though the sun is out…one can only assume these people don’t play golf (or padel!) and missed out on a few of the invites to Chester races this year!
